Plantation Key Detention Facility Releases

The Plantation Key Detention Facility is an MCSO adult detention site at 88770 Overseas Highway, Suite 4, Tavernier, FL 33070. It is not the Main Detention Center on Stock Island. It also must not be confused with the Monroe Clerk's Plantation Key office, which uses Suite 2 at the same street number. The suite number identifies the correct office before a records visit or facility inquiry.

FDC county-detention reports list Monroe County/Plantation Key separately, and the MCSO release table includes a Facility field. Preserve “Plantation Key” when that value appears. It identifies the MCSO location attached to the transaction. A person may leave after bond, recognizance, Pretrial Services, dismissal, time served, or a completed county sentence. The person may instead move to Main, another county, FDC, or a federal custodian. Only the first group clearly describes community release.

Confirm Plantation Key Facility Releases

Start with the official MCSO Inmate Releases for the Last Seven Days. Match the full name with date of birth or age, booking date, release time, and the Plantation Key facility value. The bond amount is not the legal reason for release. A zero amount can accompany several outcomes, and a nonzero amount does not prove that all other cases or holds cleared.

1. Find the person in the seven-day table and record the exact Plantation Key facility value and both timestamps.
2. Compare that booking episode with the MCSO jail log, without treating disappearance or a change to Main as release proof.
3. Search the Monroe Clerk docket for the bond order, disposition, sentence, dismissal, probation entry, or transfer-producing judgment.
4. When the row expires or sources conflict, request the MCSO custody movement and release record naming Plantation Key.
5. If another custodian appears, continue with FDC, the federal docket, BOP, or ICE ODLS as appropriate.

The public release dataset can become stale. Research on July 14, 2026 found an old backend update even though the page claimed a seven-day window. Inspect the newest displayed time. The Monroe County released inmate search supplies the full cross-check when the short table cannot answer the question.

Plantation Key Facility Release Records

MCSO Central Records is the correct custodian for a fuller Plantation Key jail record. Use the Sheriff's portal rather than the County Commission's general request channel. Identify the person, date of birth or booking number if known, Plantation Key as the facility, and a narrow booking and release range. Ask for the custody movement log, completed release entry, release authority, and destination or receiving agency where recorded and public.

Florida Chapter 119 permits inspection and copying subject to exemptions and redaction. Section 119.07 requires prompt acknowledgement and a good-faith response, not a fixed turnaround. Ask for electronic delivery, a cost estimate before charges above a chosen limit, and the statutory basis for any withholding. MCSO did not publish a complete release-record fee schedule or authoritative records-office hours in the research. Do not apply the Clerk's Suite 2 hours to the detention facility or Central Records.

Plantation Key Release Location Details

The correct detention address is 88770 Overseas Highway, Suite 4, Tavernier. The Clerk is in Suite 2. The MCSO facility and the court-record office serve different functions even though they share a street number. MCSO confirms its Plantation Key detention operation, while state reports give the location its own county-detention listing.

The facility field matters because Monroe County spans a long chain of islands. A family member who assumes every detention event happened near Key West may travel to the wrong place. Record Suite 4 and the Plantation Key label before seeking a release or property instruction. If a court document is needed, use the Clerk office in Suite 2. If a jail movement is needed, use MCSO Central Records. One office cannot substitute for the other merely because both share the same street address.

The live jail log is a current-custody list, the arrest display is a recent booking and photo product, and the release table is a short release product. A location change from Plantation Key to Main is an internal movement. A missing name is inconclusive. Only the release row, docket, or agency movement record establishes what occurred.

Plantation Key Facility Release Timing

The January 2026 MCSO handbook states a systemwide rule: a sentenced inmate may be released any time after 8:00 a.m. on the scheduled date. It does not promise an 8:00 a.m. exit from Plantation Key. Other releases occur as soon as possible after written authority from the proper legal source, subject to command authorization. Identity checks, court papers, open holds, transport, and another case can affect departure.

The written-authority rule applies across the MCSO detention system, not as a posted Plantation Key lobby schedule. A court order can precede physical processing. Likewise, a public release timestamp can be later than a docket event. If another warrant or custodian is involved, MCSO may complete its transaction without the person leaving confinement. Ask which record documents the final destination instead of treating an estimated exit time as proof.

Booking time, legal-order time, and completed release time are separate events. The release timestamp is stronger proof that MCSO completed its action, but it can still describe a handoff. Confirm whether the person remains at Plantation Key, moved to Main, or left for another authority before traveling.

Plantation Key Release Property Pickup

The MCSO handbook's systemwide rules require the return of county clothing, books, and issued items. Stored property and remaining money are handled during processing. Bulk property must be collected from the facility where it was originally processed. For a Plantation Key booking, verify whether Plantation Key is the originating property location before making the long trip through the Keys. The handbook gives 30 days after release or transfer before unclaimed property may be disposed.

A pending commissary order has a separate five-working-day claim rule. The newer handbook says remaining welfare, phone, and tablet funds are returned on a debit card after MCSO debt. These are logistics, not proof of release. The handbook also identifies TouchPay cash kiosks at Key West and Plantation Key. A TouchPay transaction concerns funds or bail processing and is not a public release-status display.

The handbook also describes an intake processing fee and deduction of MCSO debt before the balance is returned. Those accounting entries cannot identify a release date, type, or destination. For bulk property, the originating-facility rule is more important than the last place a person appeared on the jail log. Confirm where the items were first processed and what identification MCSO requires before pickup.

Plantation Key Release Federal Transfers

The MCSO handbook separately refers to USM, Border Patrol, and Customs populations, and historical ICE inspection material documents federal immigration use within the Monroe jail system. Those sources explain why a person can leave Plantation Key for federal or immigration custody. They do not prove that a particular contract is active now or that Plantation Key currently houses a given federal category.

For federal pretrial custody, inspect the federal docket because USMS has no public historical release locator. Use BOP after a sentenced person enters its system. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS with the required identity fields. A positive federal result after an MCSO event can show that the custodian changed, not that a community release occurred.

Plantation Key Release Docket Check

The Monroe Clerk criminal portal often preserves the legal trail after a person drops off MCSO's short displays. Search by name, case number, or a narrow date range. Review bond, recognizance, Pretrial Services, dismissal, sentence, jail-credit, probation, and termination entries. A docket order may precede physical release while holds and processing remain.

If the record shows release to Pretrial Services, a Clerk weekly report may include a Date Released to PTS. That is community pretrial release with an open case, not acquittal or sentence completion. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, and other confidential matters may not appear anonymously. When the docket and jail displays do not identify the destination, the Plantation Key movement record remains the controlling fallback.

A focused movement request should distinguish booking, release, and transfer timestamps. It should also ask for release type or authority and the receiving agency if recorded and public. If MCSO asserts an exemption, request the statutory basis and production of nonexempt portions. This keeps the request tied to the Plantation Key event rather than asking for an undefined countywide file.
